Application. filed October 15, 1915. Serial No. 55,937.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JACOB B. BEANs,,a citizen of the United States, residing in the city of Philadelphia, county of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented aDisplay Device, of which the fol lowing is a specification.

, My invention is a device adapted to be attached to a window for the purpose of supporting. a commodity, displaying it prominently and advertising it in a prominent manner.

1 A further purpose of my invention is to provide a simple, inexpensive, attractive and eflicient display and advertising device readily applied to a window and detached therefrom.

In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 is a front elevation of a section of a windowglass having my display device applied thereto; Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view taken through the construction shown in Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a sectional plan view of the same; and Fig. 4: is a rear elevation thereof.

The device, in the form thereof illustrated in the drawings, comprises a paper or woven disk 1 containing apertures 2. Gummed fasteners 3 (preferably sections of fabric provided with an adhesive) are secured to the rear of the disk'and sections thereof are pressed through the apertures again-st the glass, adhering and holding the disk in the shown, 1s an integral part of the disk and is secured to the shelf so as to permit the latter to be folded. I

A brace or strut 9 is secured to the bottom of the shelf 7 so as to have a hinge 10, the connection being made by gluing to the bottom of the shelf a strip of material 11 which s connected to thestrut. This strut can be urned upon its hinge 10 into position substantially parallel with theshelf 7 and the latter can be folded into position substam tially parallel with the disk 1 for convenience in shipping and handling.

The disk may be provided with any suitable advertising matter or lettering, as illustrated.

It will be understood that devices of this or analogous form, varying within the scope of my Invention, can be stamped out of paper, cloth, or other sheeted material and provided with the means for attachment", supporting the articles, and advertising the same, 1n a prominent and attractive mannei' very readily and at small expense. \1
